After installing the latest driver on Windows 8, I only get an error message when I go to the setup and test menu for controller vibrations in the Control Panel. Following that, the driver menu crashes.While this gamepad was designed for Windows versions up to Windows 7, it is compatible with Windows 8. Despite this driver menu error message, the vibration functions will work fine in games with vibration support. Be aware that this gamepad only supports DirectInput titles and that the vibration function also depends on the game.

My gamepad, racing wheel or joystick doesn’t work.Please check if the input device is working correctly in the game controller menu in Windows®. To do so, open the Control Panel and navigate to ‘Game Controllers’ (Windows® XP/Vista) or ‘Devices and Printers’ (other Windows® versions). The device you need to test should be listed here. Right-click the device and select ‘Game Controller Settings’. You can access the particular input device’s properties by double-clicking the device name in the list of installed game controllers. Test the device by pressing its buttons or moving it – these actions should be displayed in parallel in the test area.

When I move the right-hand analogue stick, only one of the buttons 1 to 4 works.To use the right-hand analogue stick, set the gamepad to analog mode by pressing the analog button once.

How can I use this joystick/gamepad with games that only support mice or keyboards as input devices?You can only do this using special software. The relevant programs are available as freeware and easy to find on the internet.

My game controller does not show any reaction.Most games are set to use the keyboard as default input device. Open Options of your game and choose "game controller" as input device. Please refer to the game′s manual for further information.
